That was rough to watch....guy has a lot of growing up to do.

Ohhhh i need to see these salty salty tears....

Yeah... what did he say?

Just saw a few comments on ESPN's Van Pelt show... and there was nothing salty in them.

Assume there was something else...

Texas Chuck wrote:Well I basically called it going down like this but pretty disappointed in Minnesota. Didn't fight at all. McDaniels just checked out. Town got all aggressive once it was over and flexing after cutting to 30 was super cringe. Multiple cheap shots including 2 at Lively's head is bush league stuff. And ANT just walking out. It's cool he likes to talk, but as Luka says it's easy to talk when you up. Be a man and shake Luka and Ky's hand after they handed you your ass.

It can be best summed up like this:

Ant-man before the series against Kyrie: Let's go champ!
After the series: Let's go cramp!

Dude made a bad mistake calling out Kyrie AKA the ankletaker.

I just watched 2 minutes of ant post game

And he gave props to Luka

So idk what you talking about

Timberwolfs definitely gonna take a step back next season, this kind of loss doesn't make you better as a team

Lively's impact is unbelievable despite him being a freaking ROOKIE!

A couple answers in the beginning are mediocre (particularly around what went wrong), but I'm super confused about people being up in arms about this press conference. These answers seem mostly fine?

Yea, not really seeing how ANT's press conference was "rough to watch". Seemed pretty normal. I mean, no one's going to be excited after losing a series.

Tim Legler will be gloating at all of ESPN staff...

It's wild that Wolves reddit had a thread to not "boo" Luka during the game because they feared that someone might tick him off. Then exactly that happened when a guy made a crying sign towards him and he went off on them.

It's crazy how right they were.

Wolves will be fine (like the Nuggets, Thunder are "fine"). A few bounces here and there, a player stepping up in the big moments (like Luka) and they can still make the NBA Finals with their current core. A few good changes are welcome too if that's guaranteed to NOT rock the boat too much (chemistry) and just reload on needed positions and address the small weaknesses.

It's the combo of him leaving the court without congratulating the better team, again, and his yapping throughout the series while losing.

I might STILL be missing something he said... but it might just be a few Dallas fans being too emotionally invested?

Sometimes, we perceive things differently when caught up in emotions.

Luka’s number 1 fan. He deserves his victory lap.
